annoying shadows..... glitch?
I have this weird and annoying shadow difference in my game, the top is darker than the bottom. No matter what time ingame, how i rotate my camera. there is always this difference which can actually be seen very clearly as a line that seperates the two. i made pictures to show it.
anyone knows what this is?

If you mean that brown long strip in front of you, that's not a shadow.
It looks like something separating the floor and if you look at the railing there you can see it too. Trees aren't infinitely long you know. It's so that it won't make a gap in the floor. I had something weird like that happen.
Here:  Not sure what it was lol. Not the same thing.

I KNOW THIS ONE its your pass through layer, your vid card is dumping memory and getting stuck on a pass, so its out putting it instead of reprocessing. And Drac he is talking about that horzontal shadow line on the floor, not the brown tile sperator. Although after looking at your pic a second time, you will notice its actually one HUGE shadow, Evil. there is another parallel shadow line at the very top. I would need to see you at another angle to determine if that is supposed to be there or not. Leviathan.Yokhai said: Leviathan.Catnipthief said: I had something weird like that happen.

The arrow was misleading for me, didn't realize the diagonal red line was for the shadow.
Edit: Still doesn't look the same to me. It looks more like it's meant to be there. Bismarck.Dracondria said: Ooh that. Wasn't as obvious as Catnip's pic.

It looks more like it's meant to be there. yeah thats what im wondering about, i need to see multiple camera angles for that one, looks like its a shadow of a tall tower or something cat...that sucks...im sorry  that better? the red line shows where the screen turns darker/brighter only thing i can suggest is maybe run a diagnostics within your vid. display properties... or if you dont want the hastle just buy a new vid card... and see if it changes anything.. if it doesnt it could be your monitor too.. maybe check to see with other games idk if you would get the same results with ffxi, but with full shadow and weather on, its possible to use this as a reference too
Not entirely sure, would need to see a video, but it might be the level of detail render. The Highest detail is always rendered in very close proximity, if you have a fairly good eye, you will see a very clear "Line" where the detail (Including lighting and shadow) will degrade in quality.

 Sadly its always there (though not always so easy to see). and its again top left to bottom right corner hmmmm, try turnin shadows down/off?? also i dont think a problem with your monitor would show up on a SS. could be one of your vid card settings not happy with something in 14.
My wife and I had the same problem. Unclicked the Ambient Lighting in the config setup and it went away.

Its true, the shadows are gone now, thank you! could also be Tearing, try turning V-Sync on (manually from your Graphics card settings)
